Rummaging around in the Attic

While doing research for our next McCain hit piece we ran across a legal document that caught our attention. Its an 18th century piece that looks to be based, in part, on British law. It starts off well enough but unfortunately it too often descends into paranoid-delusional, black helicopters territory by establishing all these restrictions against abuses of power by the government which the authors obviously reasoned, the potentiality of such abuse was inevitable.

We tried to think how the provisions contained therein would succeed if applied today in 21st-century America. Some better than others and others yet, not at all. We like it, anyway. It has a sort of an old-world charm to it. We suppose its cute in its quaintness. Here it is if you care to read.
